For a multiplicative monoid automorphism ϕ:N→N fixing 0, define a⊕b=ϕ−1(ϕ(a)+ϕ(b)). This transports a semiring structure to the fixed underlying multiplication, hence a commutative-monoid enrichment on its one-object category. Swapping prime 2 with an odd prime p gives 1⊕1=p. Infinitely many such primes therefore give infinitely many distinct additions, although the transported enriched categories are isomorphic.
